First, prep your veggies. Thinly slice both cabbages and place them in a roomy mixing bowl. Shred the carrots and add them in. Slice the scallions and toss those in as well. If using cilantro, roughly chop and add it to the bowl.
In a separate small bowl or jar, whisk together the dressing ingredients: toasted sesame oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey (or maple syrup), toasted sesame seeds, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes if you like a little kick.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture, tossing well to completely coat the veggies. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes so the flavors meld and the cabbage softens slightly.
Right before serving, sprinkle with the toasted sliced almonds or cashews for the ultimate crunch.
Taste and adjust any seasoning if needed—add a pinch of salt, more vinegar for tang, or extra nuts for crunch!
